Personality & Traits

General Overview		Like the rest of his race, he is impulsive, short tempered and fearless. Though he did not distinguish himself at the Academy, he proved that he is extremely loyal and willing and able to follow orders. His superiors learned early on that they needed to be clear in their orders as Kasm either chose not to or was unable to interpret instructions and followed them to the letter. And when the orders were vague he tended to take the most direct action to accomplish his assigned tasks, even if that direct action put him at risk.
Strengths & Weaknesses		Actually one of his greatest strengths is also his greatest weakness. As a Pandorian he comes from an extremely high gravity world. Even after the last few years living in an Earth normal gravity, sometimes he forgets his own strength and breaks something. His normal workout involves multiple reps bench pressing over 500kg, and his deadlift maximum has not been reached yet as the bars cannot sustain the weight. Of course, this is all done at 1g, on his planet with the 2.6g standard, he is not considered to be amongst the strongest of his race and actually ranks as slightly above average.
Ambitions		To complete his current assignment from his homeworld to join the Federation's Starfleet, learn what he can during his time there and bring those skills back to Pandora to share what he has learned and expand the knowledge base of his species.
Hobbies & Interests		Kasm doesn't really have hobbies, so to speak. His race focusses on the success of all by being the best at your assigned profession and working hard 16 hours a day to bring honor and success to your family and Consortium. As with most Pandorans, sculpting the crystals is a skill developed during rest periods. As ancient peoples would use rocks to chip obsidian into arrow heads and other artifacts. Pandorans generally use their front incisors to chip away at dilithium crystals to create works jewelry and works of art.

Personal History		Born into a mining consortium on the southern continent on Pandora, he worked the mines when in his youth. Once it was discovered that the crystals they were mining had properties that allowed them to focus energy, he changed professions to have an opportunity to help develop the technology revolving around them in power plants. And again, when warp fields were discovered he moved on to that program in hopes of becoming a pilot and exploring the stars. When he got to Star Fleet Academy, he found that he excelled at the more physical aspects of being a security/marine and found a bit of joy in displaying his superior strength over the soft humanoids around him.
Service Record		Kasm grew up in a mining Consortium digging strange crystals out of hard rock, once he was old enough he then moved and spent about 10 years working for a consortium responsible for developing the technology to use dilithium crystals to focus and generate energy. When warp fields were discovered by the scientists he volunteered for the test flight program. Though hundreds of pilots and crew died from test failures, Kasm couldn't wait for his turn at flying the warp capable ship. In fact he was on the bridge of the ship that had the first successful test flight and was amongst those involved in first contact. During the negotiations with the UFP he continued working with the consortium to develop more reliable technology. When negotiations were completed Kasm was amongst the first of his race to be accepted to Starfleet Academy. Throughout his time at the Academy, he was considered an average student. In fact he had a number of incidents with other students who had made fun of him and he ended up in a number of brawls which went on his record. He was assigned to the USS Washington to basically get him out of the way. In fact all of the Pandorians ended up being assigned to positions which keep them out of public view.
